You are most welcome Scott!

Thank you Dragen?

Your welcome, glad it helped and thanks for the comment.

Well alriiight!!

Thanks Amish!! Thanks for the feedback.

I agree. Every time it happened, I kept disconnecting the cable and going through the HL adjustments again - and still I couldn't eliminate all chain rub. When you think about it logically, cable tension is an obvious factor!

No problem 👍

Thanks, Jeff! Remember cross chaining, most bikes will get chain rub which is normal. That's the extreme like when the chain is in the biggest front ring and smallest cog on the cassette. Or vice-versa.

Took it to a reputable bike shop

You are welcome Marvin!

Glad to help.

Thanks Nelly!!

SAME! lol

Nice!

Your welcome.

Thanks for the comment. There is another video of mine that goes deeper into the front derailleur on my channel. I think its come up as the most watched.

That’s great. Thanks

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

Bro same! Did you ever solve this and how???

Your welcome Keith⚙️

😆 So glad you found it and thanks for words. I find these videos a pain in the ass too sometimes.

Appreciate it

Ah, thank you Joshua. I still struggle....lol

so true. screws just mess up if your gears shift bad. its only for chain hopping off

yeah same here #!+&@÷¥~

me too, I did the same!! This was a much better video, I also wished I watched this first. I really @#$#@ the adjustment, I took it to a bike shop and mechanic set it to some degree but still rubbing so will have to try just adjusting the barrel adjuster. Another mechanic also told me that the two screws should not be touched just the barrel screws, lesson learned hard way.

I am facing the same issue and now front derailleur is totally fucked up...and there is no way by which i can fix it...and my Bike is just few days old 😭😭😭

aH'mad iR'Fan if it’s new take it back to the bike shop and they should adjust for free.

lol! From here on out I hope to keep to that format. I feel the same way, I have no patience about first and last name and how the dog is feeling. Although I love dogs.

Thanks.

You’re welcome. Happy to help.

You are welcome ⚙️

Super! Thanks

Good job, ya sometimes the orientation of the frame and derailleur mounting area can throw you off.

Thank you ⚙️

Thanks, Reyes, In some cases that may be normal, usually in a repair stand when the rear derailleur is on gear 1, the largest cog. Or if you are cross chaining or in the biggest ring in the front and smallest in the rear (or vice versa) this may happen. Another reason may be the freewheel hub may be spinning backward too slowly. If so it would not be able to keep up with the chain. Check this by spinning the cranks, remove your feet or hands to see if you get ghost spinning. Lack of tension in the chain, check the b screw. Chain too long. This would be a good video for me to make. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks Linh!

Sweet!

One more thing, it's quite rare but it did happen a few times that the chain fell off in between the rings when downshifting.

Sory for the late response, This would be considered "cross chaining". This will be at the extreme if you have three chainrings in the front. The chain line angle is too severe and in most cases noncomplimentary gearing. Your bike is saying it does not like it there. Very common for most bikes. This is one reason why today's bikes are now running two and one chainrings in the front and larger climbing gears in the rear. The limit screw is not the issue here, you may need to choose where you want the rub to occur, i.e. make your adjustment to where you spend the majority of the time. Some components are not going to run at 100% performance, Sometimes you will need to pick and choose and assist the drivetrain system. Thanks

+cheung arrie May be a sign of worn or low performing chainring and or chain.

Thanks Tamar!

You can do it! Thanks!!

You are very welcome.

Many thanks Joe!

Thats great John, good to hear.

That sounds about right. its good to be aware of that. Most people have no idea they are about to unthread completely. And rightly so, the threads are not visible. Some derailleurs call for a lot of tension, in that case, I would screw the barrel adjuster in all the way and reset the cable tension at the pinch bolt. Not necessarily in that order.

A new bike may need some breaking in. The new housings and ferrule caps need to be seated with tension. You do this by shifting from one end to the other about 10 times, ignore the bad shifting your just braking it in for now. You may also tug or pull on the bare cable with a rag 10 times to seat the cable and housing. This will create slack in the cable, which is what you want. Then you may go back to the cable pinch bolt and loosen the cable. At this time reset the barrel adjuster to about the middle or more. Then pull tension on the cable with fingers only and retighten the cable pinch bolt. Try that

I checked the cable head, i pulled it out and back in again. Not sure if this is how it should be seated correctly, but that’s how it looks now with the cable pinch bolt tightened and on the smallest chain ring. Link to the photo below. Check if it is seated properly. imgur.com/Ckn67oK

That looks good, it's recessed.

Thanks Michael!

@@BikeTeacher yes. i changed bot brack sealed bearing and it was slightly longer. i was able to get everything shifting properly. thank you

Happy to help

Thank you. 🏁⚙️

Sorry, I am confused. I would need more detail.

Thank you 👍🏽⚙️

@@BikeTeacher is there any way i can fix the chain rub my problem is exactly like in your video but I do not have a barrel adjuster

Rubbing on the biggest gear or smallest? Or middle? If smallest whil in the biggest in the rear you may loosen the L limit screw 1/16” at a time. Same with the biggest chainring while in the smallest gear in the rear.

@@BikeTeacher rubbing of the chain on the front derailer when using 2 in the (1,2,3) gears and when using 6 and above on the (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8) gears also chain rub when using gear 3 and gear 8

Thank u 🙏🏽 it working now

Thank you and thanks for the feedback. I mostly have stopped the music. One less thing to do in editing.

You're experiencing a harder shift at your hand? Is the bigger chainring the last and largest chainring? If so, You may be running into the High limit screw a little too soon. Loosen, counterclockwise, H screw in micro turns, 1mm at a time. And check.

If it won’t move, it could be stuck and you will need pliers to unstuck it. Or the adjuster has full exceeded its travel and is no longer able to engage and produce results. If that happen you would need to loosen the cable pinch bolt and re-engage ( screw in) the adjuster.

There are so many variables .Try using the barrel adjuster for the front derailleur.

@@BikeTeacher ok thx

Yes. But be gentle. It will matt up the metal a little. But it should service. Also notice if the barrels is bent. Or it will let you know.

It could be stuck from dirt or the housing leading in to the barrel adjuster is creating stress Roma bad or tight angle. Try to straighten the housing where it enters the barrel. Hold this straight while turning the barrel. Use pliers to Break the barrel free if need be.

@@BikeTeacher thanks like watching you takes

Thanks Chris!

The high limit screw may be to tight, not allowing the derailleur enough room to move freely. This is why the shifter feels stiff.Loosen the hight limit screw but only 1/16" to 1/8" at a time. Be patient and do a physical test ride test ride after each adjustment. Anticipate the derailleur throwing the chain off to the crank side if you over do the adjustment.

@@BikeTeacher THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR!

Your welcome!

You wounded to manipulate the cable tension T the pinch bolt. Pulling it tight(er) or leaving slight slack. Kinda hard but doable. Best thing to do is install a inline barrel adjuster. Minor surgery.

@@BikeTeacher I have the R7000 FD do i still need the barrel adjuster? What are the process of installing barrel adjuster do i need to buy new cables/bartape n such?

Luck to you. Thanks for watching.

Start from scratch, release cable tension and ensure the shifter is at #1.

Thanks, that’s an old video. I’ve toned it down since then. I hope.

I avoid pliers at all cost. I find It’s not necessary unless in a inaccessible spot like yours. It may be time for a new longer cable.

I am unable to, sorry.

Bhai tum bas tarika dekh lo

@@SomLata-sq2yj he is not indian

Agreed.

Feedback taken, thanks.

@@BikeTeacherUnlike above, I actually found this very helpful, thanks for posting!

Thank you Joesph.

This is the simplest video and Andy you are kind of noob
